Court records show that the New Orleans Pelicans center was charged with domestic violence, resisting arrest and battery against a police officer after his arrest in Los Angeles last summer.
There were 12 charges against him, including three counts of hurting a spouse, two counts of domestic battery, one count of battery against an officer, one count of false imprisonment, and one count of resisting arrest.
According to court records, he was charged on January 20.
The team said that they have worked with the NBA on the matter since before the charges were filed.
Los Angeles police officers were called to the house of his then-girlfriend in the early morning hours of July 28, 2021.
The police said that at the time, they met in the front yard of the residence. Police said that when officers told him they needed to speak with someone inside the residence, he tried to prevent them from entering.
The video shows police officers using a stun gun on the man.
The Force Investigation Division of the Los Angeles Police Department was looking into the case because of the use of force during the arrest. The officers applied force to the man's neck.
In 33 games this season, he is averaging 6.8 points and 3.4 rebound.
